Good morning, Flint.

The Food Bank of Eastern Michigan is hosting events for Hunger Action Month to raise funds and support local hunger relief.

On Sept. 3, a state House panel heard from think tank leaders—experts in economic policy—who said huge taxpayer-funded incentive deals, such as the $6.24 billion offer to bring SanDisk to a Flint-area megasite in Mundy Township, have not boosted the local economy.

They argued that these deals have created few jobs and hurt openness in economic decisions—raising questions about whether such projects should continue.
